Lots of cultures have a special ceremony that marks the transition from teen to adult. It's both a celebration of a major life landmark and an acknowledgment that the celebrant is a part of the mystical society of grownups. In cultures without such a ceremony, other major life landmarks are celebrated instead. May include a Meaningful Rename; if this is culture wide then it's a Rite-of-Passage Name Change. A number of Coming of Age Stories have rites of passage. Sex as Rite-of-Passage is a subtrope. For other kinds of rites and rituals that earns you membership into a group of people, see Initiation Ceremony and its various subtropes such as the Gang Initiation Fight. Depending on the culture and/or values of the culture, a Test of Pain may be part of the ceremony. |

Dragon Quest VIII, on the other hand, has Prince Charmles, who also needs help to complete his rite: obtaining the heart of an Argon Lizard. Unlike Holse, Charmles quickly proves himself to be a complete and utter Jerkass, as well as an Entitled Bastard who learns nothing from the rite. Although he appears to get away with this at first, his disrespect for the ritual comes back to haunt him in the long run, as it eventually costs him his right to the throne and to marry Princess Medea. To twist the knife even further, the secret ending reveals that Charmles's failure to complete the rite directly resulted in his long-lost cousin doing so instead. | |

Dragon Age also has two: city elves are considered children until they get married (which is considered a joyous occasion in the alienage, when everyone can put down their work, forget their worries, and just party for a day), and Dalish elves are considered children until they receive their vallaslin, ritualized face tattoos of the symbol of one of their gods ( Or rather, the personal symbol of the immortal godlike nobles that once enslaved them, as Dragon Age: Inquisition reveals.) The Dalish ritual is more complicated and difficult than the city elves; the ink for the ritual itself is considered sacred and implied to be made by mixing in the subject's own blood, and requires absolute silence during the application of the tattoos—even so much as crying out in pain is taken as a sign that the subject is not yet ready for adulthood, meaning they will have to wait until the leader of the tribe deems them ready to receive the tattoos. | |

Dragon Quest: In Dragon Quest VI, the heroes must help Prince Holse complete his Rite of Passage by acting as his bodyguards. While he starts out a Dirty Coward, the heroes' courage really effects and inspires him, enabling the rite to bring out the best in him and prove his ability to succeed his father as future ruler. Dragon Quest VIII, on the other hand, has Prince Charmles, who also needs help to complete his rite: obtaining the heart of an Argon Lizard. Unlike Holse, Charmles quickly proves himself to be a complete and utter Jerkass, as well as an Entitled Bastard who learns nothing from the rite.

Flash Gordon (1980): A young Arborean man is initiated into adulthood through the "test of manhood", which involves sticking your arm into a stump and hoping you don't get stung by the monster inside, because doing so will bring on agonizing pain, violent insanity, and finally death. Unfortunately for the young man we see, he fails the test and is given a Mercy Kill after the Wood Beast stings him. Prince Barin later tries to murder Flash Gordon by forcing him to repeatedly stick his hand into the Wood Beast's stump. Flash f eigns having been stung and begs to a Mercy Kill, only to disarm Barin once he gets close. The scene is notable for the sheer Fridge Logic of it; whilst probably inspired by real-life jungle tribe rites where a youth allows himself to be stung by venomous insects to prove his toughness, the sheer luck-based nature of the test and the deadliness of the Wood Beast's venom makes it an impractical rite of passage to say the least. | |

In Snow White with the Red Hair the reason Zen is receiving so many letters from noble families looking to marry one of their daughters to him is that his brother never had a beautillion ball and indicated early on he knew who he was going to marry while Zen is at an age when he could possibly still hold such a ball to look for a potential spouse so every family wanting to have a daughter marry a prince is directing their efforts at Zen. | |

It's not an absolute requirement: e.g. it's cancelled in the times of war. Obviously some end up dead or lost, but those who return has a valuable out-land experience. Mystara: In the nation of Karameikos, the Shearing is a custom in which teenagers leave their parents' home for a year to prove themselves capable of independence. As it's not intended to be a difficult challenge, this may just mean moving in with a relative or neighbor and working at an entry-level job that the Sheared teen's parents covertly arranged to have available for them. The name "Shearing" refers to how the bottom hem of such a teen's cloak is ceremonially cut short to symbolize their new status. |

The World of Darkness: Hunter: The Vigil: Aspirants of the Bear Lodge are required to join a hunting party, track down a werewolf, slay it, and bring back a trophy of their kill. If they succeed, they become members of the Lodge. If something goes wrong, they're probably not going to come back alive. Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Every werewolf who undergoes the First Change is bundled together with other fresh changes to undergo the Rite of Passage that will allow them to be recognized by a tribal totem and become full-fledged members of the Garou Nation. After earning the first rank of Cliath, werewolves are expected to undergo solo challenges based on their Auspice and/or Tribe (e.g., felling a powerful Wyrm creature for a Get of Fenris Ahroun, negotiating peace between hostile factions for a Child of Gaia Philodox) to further climb in rank, earning more esteem from the spirits and a greater place of prominence in the Nation. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Young boys in the Southern Water Tribe go thorugh a rite known as "ice-dodging" when they reach the age of 14. The rite taker has to navigate a boat through a field of ice with their father's help as well as two trusted companions. Sokka never had a chance to do this, since his dad Hakoda was away fighting in the war, but upon meeting Bato in the Earth Kingdom, he performs a variation of the ceremony with jagged rocks, with Bato standing in for Hakoda and Katara and Aang assisting. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Young Rito must journey to the peak of Dragon Roost Island's mountain to receive a scale from the dragon Valoo, the sky spirit who guards the island. It explicitly allows them to grow their wings and implicitly makes them grow taller very quickly (the latter indicated by Prince Komali being noticeably taller after getting his scale). The first major dungeon arc requires Link to find a way of calming down the suddenly rampaging Valoo in part because this means the Rito can't get those scales anymore. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The three Korok Trials that Link is tasked to undergo, which require him to find his way along winding paths through a haunted forest amidst varying dangers and obstacles, are normally taken by the Koroks themselves as a way of proving that they've reached maturity. |

Mass Effect 2 introduces the Krogan rite to establish themselves as a true warrior. It can be completed solo, or the young krogan may convince one or two already established warriors to help them (called a "krantt"). Said rite (or at least the Clan Urdnot variant) consists of three parts, each part requires the activation of a totem which summons different animals to fight and each animal represents a different threat in the history of the krogan. The first part summons waves of Varren for you to kill, symbolizing how the krogan became the top species on a Death World. The second part has the insect-like Klixen who represent how the krogan were introduced to the galaxy to fight the Rachni (whom the klixen resemble). The last part sets off the Thresher Maw Hammer, which naturally enough summons a Thresher Maw. This represents the krogan's fate under the Genophage, an enemy that cannot be fought, one you can only try to survive. You must survive for five minutes while the most dangerous predator in the galaxy tries to kill you. If you get out alive, you're in. If you kill the Thresher Maw, this is also acceptable, and is considered a mark of enormous skill. (The only Urdnot to manage this in the past thousand years or so is Wrex) | |

Mass Effect has several: The Turians undergo a period of compulsory military service to earn citizenship starting at 15, assuming they are of able mind and body. Once completed, they can choose to either remain in the military or become a civil servant and join the reserves. The Quarians have the Pilgrimage, in which a quarian who is of age leaves the Flotilla and strikes out on their own across the galaxy. They are only allowed to return once they have discovered something of value they can bring back that will enrich the fleet and the lives of those on it. What they bring back varies enormously: Tali'Zorah brings back information on the Geth found during her time with Shepard, which is of vital military importance to the quarians, but other minor quarian characters are mentioned as bringing something as mundane as a ship model for their prospective captain. Tali even joins Shepard’s ship and crew by giving the Alliance (human military) something very valuable — the evidence to get a rogue State Sec operative disbarred.

Conversation turns to the giant, Nigh-Invulnerable, mechanical worm-thing just out on New Tuchanka's doorstep, and whether they can get its attention somehow. |

In A Wizard of Earthsea, the protagonist, then called Duny, goes through a rite called "Passage" when he turns thirteen. This involves symbolically giving the name that he used as a child back to his mother (though his is dead, so his aunt stands in) and then walking "nameless and naked" through a river. On the other side he is met by the mage Ogion the Silent, who tells him that his True Name is "Ged." From that point on he makes up a different name (in this case, Sparrowhawk) for people to call him, while his True Name is a secret between him, Ogion and anyone whom he chooses to reveal it to. | |

In The Giver, every year there is a ceremony where all the kids in the Community "graduate" to the next age, with certain ages having important milestones. The plot kicks off when Jonas and his friends become Twelves, meaning that they're assigned a career to train for (with Jonas being apprenticed to the Receiver of Memories). To a much lesser extent his sister Lily becomes an Ten, meaning she will be allowed to a own a bicycle; she's also apparently a year away from being allowed to stop wearing hair ribbons (Nine). |

In the Deryni works, as in Real Life, people experience a number of these at different ages: The Deryni Naming ritual is usually done when a child reaches the age of reason and can distinguish right and wrong (usually at around seven or eight, just when Catholic children first go to confession and take Communion). Morgan and Duncan are actually only four when they are Named in Childe Morgan, but they demonstrate the requisite knowledge of right and wrong already. Brion's fourteenth birthday in Childe Morgan. Donal pierces his son's ear the night before and uses the blood to prime the Eye of Rom; at court on the day itself, Brion is presented to major vassals as the recognized heir to the throne and oaths of fealty are taken. The knightly accolade when given in peacetime to squires who've completed their training. Morgan hangs this lampshade when Kelson asks about the urgency of learning to cope with ''merasha'': |

The stone glows blue when the child speaks truthfully and sincerely. When Quentyn announces his intention to be the Village Questor, the results are rather spectacular... | |

Warhammer 40,000: Younger members of the Snakebites Orks are initiated into the clan through a rite of passage where they allow a venomous snake to bite them and then suck out the poison. Attilan clansmen go through a coming-of-age ritual at adulthood where long wounds are slashed into their cheeks and rubbed with ash to form permanent scars, which the new warriors wear with pride. The Catachan Jungle Fighters have a number of life-threatening rites used to induct people into adulthood, the military, or various command ranks. For instance, some regiments require recruits to slay dangerous predators or to race through groves of mind-controlling brainleaf trees, while others require prospective sergeants to snatch a flower from the middle of the ferocious Venus mantrap plants. Saim-Hann's clan-based society has a number of such rituals, such as engaging in a high-velocity race against a clan elder to win the right to ride a jetbike into battle. |

Paraponera stings are used for coming of age rituals by Brazilian indigenous people. In Arachnid, Alice has her awakening moment upon resisting the Test of Pain from Setsuna torturing her with Dinoponera venom-coated needles but Setsuna herself can't handle being impaled in the leg by her and runs away in tears. Then Setsuna gets raped by zombies, barely recovers in Blattodea and the story spins that into part of her rite of passage too, with the narrator calling the rites of the Sateré-Mawé people a more valid way to gain empathy for the pain of other people than whatever's being done by "civilized" folks in Japan. | |

In the novel Nation by Terry Pratchett when a boy comes of age he is left on an island and must construct a canoe and get back to his village, after which he is believed to receive his adult soul. Mau is on his way home when the tsunami hits, which is why he's the only survivor. Nation has a notable twist to this trope. While many similar 'rites of manhood' stress self-reliance, Mau's rite stresses community: he discovers that the tribe left behind tools to complete his task, along with a large stone bearing the inscription, "Men help other men." |

In Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, CJ's family has a tradition where at the age of fifteen children are kicked out of the house and not allowed to return until they scavenge a treasure more valuable than the last generation's. CJ's father scavenged a massive Lens, so she has her heart set on retrieving an even larger one from the Runebarrows. The Lens he showed her was a fake passed down through the family. The real intent is to let the children explore the world and find what they value most. CJ decided New Naveah was her treasure, while her father had discovered his wife during his rite. | |

Star Trek: Generations features a ritual where the Enterprise-D crew impersonate 19th century British Naval officers aboard a holodeck simulation of a wooden ship, charging Worf in a staged court martial with "performing above and beyond the call of duty on countless occasions," and "having earned the admiration and respect of the entire crew," before Picard "sentences" him with promotion to Lieutenant-Commander. Worf then had to jump from a plank to grab an officer's hat on a rope above his head. Riker comments to Picard that no one else had succeeded in doing so before. When Worf succeeds, Picard answers, "If there's one thing I've learned, Number One, is never underestimate a Klingon." | |

For young Spock, it becomes even more when his companion sehlat, I-Chaya, who had followed him against his wishes, was mortally wounded and the attending vet could only give Spock two choices, an extended life in agony or putting him out of his misery; Spock made the mature and logical choice to put him down. | |

Quite a few in Warrior Cats. Becoming an apprentice marks the end of childhood; getting a warrior name is a recognition of adulthood and the clan's trust. Becoming a mentor is also an awaited event, showing the clan's trust in the wisdom and responsibility of a warrior, and allowing a cat to become a deputy. | |

Part of the plot involves Patrick Dooley, the game's co-protagonist, going through the ceremony himself — twenty years late, because his branch of the family lost touch with its traditions when they emigrated to America and a letter from the old country Dooleys inviting him to come and take part was mislaid by his grandmother for years. | |

As the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Helpless" reveals, a Slayer who reaches the age of 18 is secretly drugged in order to be Brought Down to Normal, then forced to fight against a vampire. (This evokes a bit of Fridge Logic: sure, you want a Slayer to be as strong and resourceful as possible, but since they're usually "called" younger than that, why let them have the job for several years before bothering to test them?) | |

Shortly after marrying Niles, Daphne decides she's had enough of the chaos that happens whenever he and Frasier host a party so she's going to host the next one. Naturally her dinner party ends up being just as chaotic as any of the brothers' parties. As the guests flee Frasier consoles Daphne by telling her she's now officially one of the Crane family. |

In My Father's Dragon, the reason Boris stays on Wild Island is because of this; every hundred years, a young dragon must go to Wild Island to prevent it from sinking into the ocean, after which the dragon will become an "After Dragon" and gain the power of breathing fire. Unfortunately, Boris has been kept on the island for much longer than normal, with the animals forcing him to pull the island out of the sea whenever it sinks too low, and he still hasn't gotten his fire yet. Towards the end of the film, he finally figures out how to complete the rite of passage and save the island; jump into the center of the island and absorb its core. | |

In The Namesake, Bengali infants participate in a ritual called the annaprasan. Their parents or elders hand them a plate filled with a pen, money, or dirt, which represents a writer, businessman, or agriculturalist, respectively. Depending on what the infant reaches toward, they are said to follow that path. However, the protagonist Gogol cries during his annaprasan, while his sister laughs and plays with all the items. This foreshadows their roles as adults. | |
